August is officially AUGUSTING for our founders and the momentum is incredible!

When ex*****on meets the right ecosystem, the results speak for themselves. In just a matter of days, our portfolio founders have captured major national milestones and funding:

GeoPredict AI emerged as the Overall Winner of the NCDMB Tech Innovation Challenge, clinching the ₦25,000,000 grand prize.

ProDetect has been selected among the Top 50 for the Base Grant Award in the prestigious iDICE Founders Lab programme, backed by the Federal Government of Nigeria, the African Development Bank (AfDB), and the Bank of Industry (BOI).

PitchNest achieved a remarkable double win, securing a spot in the Top 50 Base Grant Award AND advancing into the elite Top 15 Top-Up Grant Award cohort of the iDICE Founders Lab programme.

Milestones like these prove that homegrown African solutions can compete and win at the highest levels.

If you are a young founder, builder, or creative with an ambitious idea, you don’t have to build alone. Surrounding yourself with structured incubation, mentorship, and a community of high-impact builders makes all the difference.
